SUSTAINABLE ECOTOURISM
IN WADI EL GEMAL

Aiming to promote ecotourism in Wadi el Gemal

The inception of an ecotourism model for the Wadi el Gemal National Park was
made possible thanks to generous contributions by Veronaland Touristic Development
and the KfW German development bank. The ecotourism model for the park is being
implemented through a public private partnership between Veronaland Touristic
Development and the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency, as well as various
Egyptian public institutions.

Together we aim to promote ecotourism by enhancing the park’s infrastructure and
services in a manner that will benefit the environment and the local Ababda tribe.
This will ultimately improve the overall marketability of Marsa Allam as a
destination, extending the benefits of ecotourism on a larger scale.

To achieve this, we are in the process of rehabilitating the park’s visitor
center and raising awareness on the park and ecotourism in general through
different streams and activities.

We provide our visitors with a world class experience by offering them
high quality audio and visual interpretive presentations, maps and tours
that will enable them to truly appreciate the park’s distinctive
environmental and cultural resources.
